Any accompanying short film will be embedded in a tweet sent out through his official Twitter handle @MichaelJackson at 10pm on August 13.

The short film - directed by Samuel Bayer (The Rolling Stones, Nirvana) - will also be simultaneously broadcast on the Sony screen in Times Square, New York City.

'A Place With No Name' is a re-envisioned version of America's 1972 classic 'A Horse With No Name', which was originally recorded by Jackson with Dr Freeze back in 1998.

It serves as the follow-up to Jackson's previous single, 'Love Never Felt So Good' featuring Justin Timberlake, which went to number one in 17 countries and reached a further 67 Top 5 positions around the world.
